Hokuro (ホクロ) is the manager (店長) of the specialty sports store Jumpo. When Himeko goes to his store to buy a replacement field hockey stick, a thief has locked him in a janitor's closet. Bossun realizes the thief can't be the real manager, and locates Hokuro while Himeko stops the thief's getaway. In gratitude, Hokuro gives her a field hockey stick free of charge.
